What’s The Bible To You?

Posted on by

Do you know the Bible? Do you have one? Do you read it? Is it part of your greatest posession in life? Oh well, i have one for now but throughout my life i had 4 and the 3 of them lost by borrowers. When i went to China, i did not carry one with me because i thought it would be a problem crossing the China border but nah, we did not have any problem. Fortunately, i was able to buy a new Bible out there. Then few months before i left China, someone gave me a very beautiful one (black cover with golden edges), but i gave it away to a South African guy working in Shan Xi Province. I gave it away because he said he does not have a Bible with him. The Bible i personally bought there is still with my stuff that is left in the care of my friend (my former boss).

Now let me share with you some personal views of the Bible by great men:

–>> George Washington, the 1st USA President
“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without the Bible.”

–>> John Adams, the 2nd USA President
“The Bible is the best book in th world. It contains more…than all the libraries I have seen.”

–>> Abraham Lincohn, the 16th USA President
“But for this Book we could now know right from wrong. I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man.”

–>> Wilson Woodrow, the 28th USA President
“The Bible is the one supreme revelation of the meaning of life.”

–>> Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th USA President
“No educated man can afford t obe ignorant of the Bible.

* More statements from great men next week.

Happy Sabbath!
